Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs S from Norwich

We are sorry that we didn’t flag up the high cost of Lianshulu’s activities to these travellers before they visited this lodge. Whilst it’s always best to double-check the cost of extras on the ground – we should have drawn their attention to the relatively high costs of activities at Lianshulu. Hence we’ve added a note on the lodge write-up to this effect.

Wilderness Safaris, who own Lianshulu Lodge, commented that since these guests stayed at the lodge, new managers have taken over. They have changed the way that the lodge is run, aiming to give all guests more equal attention, so that individuals aren’t marginalised when groups are around. They also now only served plated hot food, rather than warm buffets.

For 2011, Wilderness has decreased the activity rates at Lianshulu by at least 25%, to try to make these better value for money. They have also apologised that the service, food and activities did not live up to expectations.

Claudine, the owner of Villa Margherita, commented that their "in-house slow-food Italian restaurant is working exclusively for our clientele, even if just one or two people decide to dine with us we are delighted to serve them...."

So if you choose to dine here, then we would hope that the very private and home-cooked dining experience would make up for the lack of a vast menu.
